Columbus City Schools

Families were given the option to request official timings from the Ohio Department of Education and Workforce. The district said as of Sept. 3, 149 students had done so.

Attorney General Dave Yost says CCS broke the law when the district refused to drive 1,000 private school students to class.

Republican Attorney General Dave Yost filed a lawsuit against the Columbus City Schools after warning earlier in the week it must resume busing private and charter school students or it will be breaking the law.

A cease and desist letter says the district has to bus thousands of charter and non-public school students who were told they ineligible to receive transportation.

The Columbus City Schools Board of Education said it plans on touring all nine buildings recommended by a taskforce to close.

Columbus City School records show that teacher Jodi Fullerton, who is accused of assaulting an autistic student, is employed at Valley Forge Elementary amid ongoing civil lawsuit.

CCS officials do not yet have a vote scheduled on whether or not to shut down a number of schools recommended for closure by a taskforce.

About 1,380 private school students living in district boundaries won't receive bussing this year because their travel time would take more than 30 minutes.

Security measures include handheld metal detector wands and walk-through screening detectors.

A federal civil lawsuit has been filed against the Columbus Board of Education and a teacher in the district over an alleged physical assault of a student.
